Hi My Friends,
I am sure many of you have heard about a new movie about people dealing with Lyme Disease. The title of this movie is "Under our Skin." On November 14th, UNDER OUR SKIN received two prestigious awards at the annual Freddie Awards, sponsored by the International Health and Medical Media Awards and considered to be the “Oscars of health care films.” At the black-tie event in Philadelphia’s historic Crystal Tea Room, film Producer/Director Andy Abrahams Wilson accepted the award for Best Production in the category of Infectious Diseases. In his acceptance speech, he noted the importance of this validation by the medical establishment, and thanked the judges for helping raise the visibility of chronic Lyme disease. Former CNN health reporter and author Daryn Kagan, the event MC, also presented UNDER OUR SKIN with one of the top overall awards, the Robert E. Wise Award for Outstanding Cinematography, chosen from all the 32 category winners. In addition to these honors, another Open Eye Pictures production, THE CAREGIVERS, was recognized as a Finalist in the category of Caregiving.(Underourskin.com/blog/?p=80. You can watch a trailer and some excerpts of the movie on this Website and their Blog. I have ordered my copy of the movie and can't wait to watch the whole movie. This movie will do a great deal in helping people unfamiliar with Lyme disease, just how devastating it can be. The movie is extremely well done and full of heart tugging stories. Do yourself a real favor and watch this movie.!
Be well,
Richard

About Me
- rbowman838
- Pueblo, Colorado, United States
- I am a Chronic Lyme disease patient. I was bitten by a tick in 2001 and have been very sick ever since. Subsequently, you could say I am a Lyme disease junkie.I thirst for any information about it,any treatments, research etc. It has been a life altering experience, which has kept me away from our business and at home most of the time. I use to own A-1 Barricade and Sign Inc. here in Pueblo, Co, but because of the Lyme disease, my sons are running the business for the most part with my wife. I have been married for 48 years to a wonderful woman who is also my best friend. We have five children, all grown. Four boys live here in Pueblo and my only daughter lives in Bonney Lake, Washington. We miss her a lot. I have 7 grandchildren, which are the greatest of all. They are all exceptionally beautiful! The last thing you need to know about me is that I am proud to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Because of this I have the knowledge that life is eternal and that it does not end here, but it will go on after death because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. This truth I bear witness of!
